Call Me Back - Intellectual

[Intro]

What went wrong?

[Verse 1]

Running on empty

I waited years in a past life

Running out of rope and the water's high

I drowned for you and I didn't regret it

Don't text me back in the afterlife

Needed the time, I didn't realise

I had it all along, can't take my own advice

Conflated filling the gaps for love

[Chorus]

And it's obvious that I'm caved in and breaking up

But I know it's good (I know it's good)

I know it's good (I know it's good)

Though it's over now, in my dreams you call me back

But I hope you don't (I hope you don't)

I hope you don't (I hope you don't)

[Verse 2]

I hope you're gone and lost in better days

I've been watching the time, how it erodes away

Thinking 'bout how the last years feel like yesterdays

How did I lose grip on it?

Honest, been falling through nightmares, light years away

And doing my best to keep those thoughts at bay

And finding my highlights in the loudest places

And strangers' faces getting caught up in the race of it

(How did we get lost overgrown?)

And walking through the clearing crowd

If we took our chances (When it's time to go)

And we exchanged glances, call it in the moment

(When did I lose all this love?)

And walking down the road that I grew up on

And falling out of habits

Stop bleeding for empathy's sake

[Chorus]

And it's obvious that I'm caved in and breaking up

But I know it's good, I know it's good, ooh

Though it's over now, in my dreams you call me back

But I hope you don't, I hope you don't

[Bridge]

'Cause I don't need you to tell me that

(Walking through the clear—)

(Breaking up) (We took our chances)

I don't need you to tell me that

(How did we get overgrown?)

(But we exchanged glances) (It's good)

(Call it in the moment)

I don't need you to tell me that

(Now it's time to go soon)

(Walking down the road that I grew up on)

(You'd call me back, but I hope you don't)

Oh I don't need you to tell me that

[Verse 3]

It's okay, I'm going (It's okay, I'm going)

I'm searching (I'm searching)

For what I am now (For what I am now)

I'll find you if it's urgent (Find you if it's urgent)

Or if I'm hurting (If I'm hurting)

More than I am now (Than I am now)

And we'll come back here someday

(Back here someday)

And laugh about it (Laugh about it)

Memories that don't know

How it felt like I was burning (Like I was burning)

While you weren't watching

Took everything I loved

[Segue]

Now nowhere feels like home, (feels like home), home

Now nowhere feels like home, home

Yeah, nowhere feels like home, (home), home

Yeah, ooh, yeah, nowhere feels like home

[Verse 4]

Been a long life, still got mad time (Feels like home)

Took a wrong right on it last time (Don't)

Through the long night, made it out alright

Told my brother, "Hold tight"

Sometimes I can feel it, I can feel it

Sometimes I still (Sometimes I still)

(Nowhere feels like home)

Sometimes I feel (Sometimes I feel)

(Nowhere feels like home)

Some times (Some times)

[Outro]

(Nowhere feels like home, nowhere feels like home)

(Obvious) Nowhere feels like home, nowhere feels like home

Nowhere feels like home, nowhere feels like home

Nowhere feels like home, nowhere feels like—
